Involving the eagles in carrying Frodo to Mt. Doom would, I suggest, have turned them into a sort of Air al-Gwahir whereas Tolkien appears to have preferred to restrict them to a sort of MASH capability (Mobile Air Search/rescue 'Hir). They can't look too much like a certain wizard's crow corps.

Okay, okay, bad I know, but not Rada-ghastly.
